Is this a clue?

I saw this right after I had rm -rf /dev/lirc and then mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0

[EMAIL PROTECTED] dev-state]# cd lirc

I don't know where the above came from, but I'm assuming that's where the bad
device is coming from.

Running lirc0.7.0pre2 (self compiled because it's not in contrib) to support
Hauppauge PVR-250 remote.  lirc_i2c is the device driver.

After rebooting, these are the entries in /dev:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mythtv]# ls -l /dev/li*
srw-rw-rw-    1 root     root            0 Sep  5 02:58 /dev/lircd=
prw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Sep  5 02:58 /dev/lircm|

/dev/lirc:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Sep  5 02:58 0/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Sep  5 02:58 61/
drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root            0 Sep  5 02:58 c/

Note that the /dev/lirc directory has three _files_ in it, rather than creating
the correct character device.  According to the lirc0.7.0pre2 docs, the correct
device would be created with mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0
